Open a Capsule

Log into a Board Platform and you automatically land in the Capsule browser: all the Capsules and folders you can access are in the form of tiles. Read about the Board workspace for more information.

To open a Capsule, you can perform two different actions to enter in either Play or Design mode:

• Play mode. Simply click on the tile to open a Capsule to view and interact with it in Play mode.

• Design mode. Right click the Capsule tile and select "Edit in Design mode" to take you directly to its Home Screen with all the functions for configuring it and adding Screen Objects, provided the user has the appropriate Board license and authorizations in place.

When you open a Capsule, you will always land on its Home Screen. The Home Screen should explain the Capsule’s purpose and content: for example, it may be useful to add some introductory text and a diagram illustrating how the Capsule is organized. You can always choose which Screen is the Capsule Home Screen from the Capsule Properties page or from the Capsule Screen list in Design mode, by right-clicking on the Screen name and by selecting "Set as Home screen".

Capsules can also be opened from:

• The Favorites page, reachable from the the Main Menu. In that area, you will find all of the Capsules that you've marked as favorites by right-clicking on the tile and selecting "Add to favorites".

• The Recents page, reachable from the the Main Menu. In that area, you will see all of the Capsules that you've recently opened.

• The search results page. When you perform a search using Board's internal search engine, the search results page will display all Capsule tiles matching the key phrase you typed, along with Presentations, Screens, and Slides.
